The reference is clearly lost on you 🤣

🥨 🥨

It certainly is.

So you couldn’t find any ??

It’s not bullying at all.

You have just not understood the reference behind the gif. I did and I thought it was 🤣.

To liken it to the GOT comment is quite the reach.

I personally find both Gates and Zuckerberg to be questionable. Climate change is fueling crop failure, causing hunger, and disease. Dengue fever is now showing up in the US. I won't use Facebook. I have respect for Martha and Mariah.

Ive seen one im not doing the work for you go find it yourself.

Prince Harry in Beverly Hills at a Kardashian party; Prince William at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. This is the sort of seminal moment that crystallizes thoughts for BP.

You have to hand it to Meghan, she’s finally got where she wanted to be from when she was a little girl. She’s made it (“it” being this sort of party and this sort of headline). She’s hustled and grifted and married and divorced and married and sold her family and lied and bullied - and finally made the headlines with A Listers. Harry, though? I can’t believe he isn’t conflicted, but I think he lacks the intelligence to work through that conflict.

There’s a thread running at the moment about a woman complaining about her son’s history tutor. She seems to be exactly what ex-employees say about Meghan Markle: doesn’t listen to the experts, thinks she knows best, working her way through tutors because none of them or the teacher know anything and why can’t they just do what she wants them to do, complaining she’s the victim for being poorly spoken to and disrespected/insulted. Most posters think she’s on the wind-up, the thread is that batshit. But you can just see it, how she thinks she knows everything and nobody else knows anything. The DH apparently is the type to nod and say “whatever you think best, dear” which would be Harry, too, except he also desperately needs Meghan to tell him what to do and how to live. And Meghan will always feel vindicated because look where her MO has got her relative to where she started. And she wouldn’t be wrong.

It just depends what your priorities are. I don’t think Meghan’s and Harry’s are aligned, but he needs someone to tell him how to exist and she’s made sure she is the only person he can turn to. She to needs him to get where she wants, and she’s convinced him mutual need is what counts for a strong partnership and marriage and love. That sentence on the JKL podcast “that man loves me so much” was so deeply unsettling, and I can’t work out why. Life for Meghan is transactional, that’s how she views everything, absolutely everything. It’s the only world she’s ever known (“don’t give your milk away for free”) and it’s the only way she knows how to operate. That’s not how Harry was raised, even if it’s how his life was lived. I think he still hasn’t realised how he’s been and being used.

Peak Amanda from Amandaland 😂

We need a Senuous x As ever collab fast!

I can’t believe she’s trying to pass off her mate agreeing to put some of her stock upstairs in the corner…..as a collab!

What exactly are they collaborating on?
Its the equivalent of Tescos x Mr Kipling

Probably why he looks pissed off.

Totally agree .

Poor Harry - if he had half a brain cell and just a dash of self-awareness he could have had the moment at the Cenotaph and the Hollywood parties. And lots more besides, like a decent income stream, a meaningful life of service, and respect / popularity around the world. Unfortunately, despite being offered one incredible opportunity after another, it wasn’t to be.

Are the Kardashians really A listers ??

She’s hustled and grifted and married and divorced and married and sold her family and lied and bullied - and finally made the headlines with A Listers.

But 7 years ago she had A listers thrilled to be associated with her. Celebrities who wouldn't have taken her phone calls a year before were delighed to be at her wedding. She didn't have to make any effort. Simply being royal was enough to have A listers queuing up to be seen with her. So getting an invite to a tacky 'celebrity' party is hardly a great achievement. In fact, it's a massive downgrade. Could you imagine William or Kate, or any of the senior European royals, at an influencer fest?

I think there's a difference between A List actors (your Meryl Streeps and Julia Roberts) and A list celebrities/influencers, of whom the Kardashians are undoubtedly near the top. However the latter group seems to be infused with sleezy associations. The Kardashians are great pals with P Diddy. Harry went on holiday last year with Chris Jenner's toy boy, who is one of Diddy's deputies. Even Gates has the taint of Epstein on him.

Its just another nail in his coffin, I doubt this is the image William will want for his reign, a Prince of the Realm at a reality/influencers birthday party on this weekend of all weekends, it will just cement any thoughts of removing all titles I suspect.

They're obviously very famous, even if not quite as 'big' as they were a few years ago.

A list? Hard to say. The whole celebrity scene has changed so much recently. 'Classic' A listers were film stars who 'everyone knows' and were famous for decades. Only Tom Cruise and maybe Leonardo di Caprio, Julia Roberts, George Clooney and Brad Pitt still qualify as 'A listers' in that sense.

Celebrity these days tends to be much more transient. Which is why being a royal is such a prize for anyone who wants lifelong fame. Unless the monarchy is abolished, or you do something on the scale of AMW, your fame and prestige is pretty much guaranteed.

She would never have been allowed to attend such a party had she stayed a member of the WRF. It’s undeniable that there’s little room for self-expression or freedom as a working royal - as someone who hates being told what to do, personally I’d absolutely hate it too! And someone like Meghan who wouldn’t countenance being told “no” just wouldn’t last two seconds. As we’ve seen. She wants all this on her terms, she wants to exploit it for personal gain and she wants that because she wants to be #1. I’m sure she thinks she now is, in her chosen world. She’d bow down to the likes of Oprah, but she just wouldn’t recognize and would probably denigrate the kind of #1 that being a future Queen means. It’s just not her world. It really is different priorities. It’s not respect that she craves, or dignity or class or a place in history or service to others. It’s attention and money and to know she’s finally made it. What’s the point of having Beyoncé and Jay-Z queue up to shake hands with you, if you can’t do anything with that, can’t monetize it to buy yourself a big house and designer clothes and a lifestyle that your school friends took for granted but that your parents could never afford? It doesn’t scratch the itch she has to finally be accepted by the people who never accepted her as a child. She’s a deeply insecure person, with hunger that will never be sated but which has to be fed - with attention and money and people envying her and incessantly talking about herself and her thoughts etc - and she immediately understood that would never happen had she stayed.

As someone who grew up in the UK and now lives in America, it’s impossible to overestimate the culture clash, especially when you see it from this side. The only part of the British royal family that Meghan cares about is the bit that she’s taken ie the bit that opens previously closed doors. Harry. She has made abundantly clear how little she cares for any of the rest of it or the country or the British people: they’re just not relevant in her world. She used them, she got what she wanted, she’s done with them, she’s moved on and she will never go back.

It was also at Jeff Bezos’s house and attended by Zuckerberg. That type of political association is not one the BRF will want.

She would never have been allowed to attend such a party had she stayed a member of the WRF

Well, had she wanted to go, nobody could have stopped her.

She had a very tacky product placement 'baby shower' in New York while a working royal after all. I'm sure it wasn't approved of, but she did it, her 'princess in the tower' comments notwithstanding.

But my point is that 7 years ago the celebrities were coming to her. Now she has to hustle for an invite to a tacky party. And none of the other guests would care about her at all had she not married a British prince.

Don't most people have to follow rules and listen to others, both in their professional and personal lives? How did she manage life as a minor actress? She must have got told 'no' all the time. And what 'self expression'? Talking about the best way to use a packaged pancake mix?

Her lifestyle doesn't seem all that great to me. She's probably the 'poorest' person at that influencer fest. Whereas when she was royal, she was by default the most important person in just about any room.

It’s a great look for the online safety for children campaigners, isn’t it - partying with Zuckerberg 🤦‍♀️

And none of the other guests would care about her at all had she not married a British prince.

But she did. That’s the point. She took what she wanted and discarded the bits she didn’t want.

There seems to be plenty of evidence that Meghan calls the shots in her home and professional lives, gets through employees faster than I get through sneakers. She discards anyone and everyone who tells her no.

And what ‘self-expression’? Talking about the best way to use a packaged pancake mix?

Actually, I too would rather be free to flog my own wares at the market than be told which charities to support and how. My brother would rather the latter. Horses for courses. I’d feel trapped and claustrophobic. Similarly, I’d rather be the poorest person in the room but all my own money, than the “richest” person in the room on unearned wealth.

Then best not marry into the British Royal Family, and profess that you want to hit the ground running as a working royal.

She didn't have to marry a royal.
She didn't have to be a working royal.
She could have carried on her acting career whist still marrying into the RF, being a non working royal and making her own money. She refused it.
She and Harry were offered by QEII a (non-working) settling in period. She refused it.
She was offered help from Sophie and others to help her understand the ropes. She refused it.
All of the young Wales royals have carved out their own projects/charitable causes via the Royal Foundation. What makes you think Meghan wouldn't have been able to do the same?

Edited for missing words. Highlighted. No material difference to the point I'm making.

But she did. That’s the point. She took what she wanted and discarded the bits she didn’t want.

But she clearly didn't get everything she wanted according to her own 'Manifesto'. She wanted it all. The glamorous royal events, the security, the British residence, while still living it up in California. You could say she got the latter but certainly not the former.

There seems to be plenty of evidence that Meghan calls the shots in her home and professional lives, gets through employees faster than I get through sneakers. She discards anyone and everyone who tells her no.

Right. Which is why she's now reduced to flogging flower sprinkles on the internet.

Actually, I too would rather be free to flog my own wares at the market than be told which charities to support and how.

Had she stayed as a working royal, she'd have had considerable freedom to shape her role in a way the Prince and Princess of Wales could not do.

But my point is that everything in life has constraints. There are always people who can say 'no' to you. Sure, she can flog pancake mix on the internet, but customers can say 'no'. She can get a deal with Spotify and NF but both can say 'no' to continuing. She can launch a podcast but audiences can say 'no' to listening.

And they have.

Similarly, I’d rather be the poorest person in the room but all my own money, than the “richest” person in the room on unearned wealth.

But Meghan isn't there with all her 'own' money, is she? Her wealth comes mainly from her husband's 'unearned wealth'. And yet she's still a pauper by comparison with those she would like to see as her peers. Whereas had she stayed as a working royal, she might still have been relatively 'poor', but enjoyed a status none of the others at that tacky party could match.
